Art & Inspiration Cool Vintage Radiator Caps

Ah, back on topic. I can actually see this rad cap.

 

My little Ram Rod. .

 

If it's got a Rad Cap and it's Period Correct its welcome so I feel there has been very little Topic Slippage...I have and continue to enjoy this Artistic Adventure...Thank You Hambers

Having Actual Pictorial footage in Hotrod showing usage helps verifys the presence and importance in the Movement...Any wild Caps of your own Rumble?

I too enjoy the detail in these Artpieces as they are a Sculpture but I like to pick ones that could plausibly compliment a Hotrod...

Some are pretty elaborate but would suit a desk ornament and those I discourage...

I would like to thank all for your appreciation and support...

I should do another round of Patent Searching...

Seen this in Hershey.

That might be a Hood Ornament stretched onto the Rad Shell...Beautiful though 28...you were there or maybe Packard Enthusiasts will chime in...

I think there is Threads on those to and if not, certainly worthy of...​

Awesome Capture and that Graceful Cap is one of the Patents I sourced the Artwork on...earlier in this Thread...I'm Curious if the Maple Leaf was possibly related as a Canadian Connection to your Hotrod @TFoch...or it was just the richness in color it possessed?

​

 

Ron like the Bowtie, The Ford Script and Your Caps Ram Designed by Artist's really highlights the incredible strengths and influence of Art...did they ever hit the nail on the head

I posted a 34ish Panel Delivery turned Trail Marker that no doubt would have worn the Same...Very Elegant Line of Automotive/Truck they were and still are...edging toward the Deco to Come...

Thanks for sharing the Mighty Ram...

No Canadian Connection @Stogy , just a colorful New Hampshire Autumn ride that day.

I know Bats are flying rats but my modified is nicknamed The Bat and I can't find a bat mascot !! I don't want the Batman logo look but more Deco? I think It's a lost idea but maybe????

...An Ole Jalopy Cap...Was Full...Now Empty...

In a act of Hamb Comradery @D type sent me some Spirit Emblazoned with @Jeff Norwell's Art...

This all came about when he posted a pic in a thread and immediately I was 1, Thirsty..., and 2, wanted to get some to have a drink but D-type said that was difficult as they don't carry it my way...

Yes he delivered me some on his Tab...I am bowled over...Thanks D-type...
​

 

Your welcome Stogy ---- that might make an interesting over flow can

 

...I've heard this Name in Reference to Old Cars perhaps the 50s but it seems to go back right back to the 20's or earlier...

It sure would look great on a vintage speedster/racer...

...this is a beautiful little Hotrod Pickup...I do have one critique and that is what the heck happened with the Radiator Shell sides faring into the rad...I think it's the rad is to narrow but maybe I'm wrong...

Anyhow it looks to be sporting a Classic Motometer which really suits and remains a popular choice with Ts...

Look online for Bacardi liquor pourers. They have a bat figure on top, could be modified to do what you want.
